The UEFA Champions League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Bayern Munich lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important clash at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Preview
Bayern Munich are currently in second place in the Bundesliga standings and have not been at their best this season. The Bavarian side eased past Koln by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have been in impressive form over the past year. The Gunners slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
